Slip Sheet vs Pallet

Slip Sheet vs Pallet

When considering whether to use a slip sheet or pallet, consider the advantages of each. 

Slip Sheet Advantages:

• Allows for 12-15% more products in material handling containers

• Does not require maintenance, but can easily be replaced

• Significant reduction in material handling costs

• Decreases loading/unloading time

• Weighs less than wooden pallets (saving shipping weight)

• Can be customized to fit any size load

• Eliminates the need for pallet exchange

• Reusable and reliable

• Recyclable (generally)

  
  

Pallet Advantages:

• Provides a greater clearance between the floor and the unit load

• Does not require special attachments on transportation devices such as a lift truck

• When used alone they provide more structural support than slip sheets

• Easily compatible with crane devices

• No load capacity reduction due to lift truck attachment

• Less load damage

• Faster handling
